DUALISTIC OUTCOME OF HISTORY
by Erwin Bourne—April 2, 2002
An old man, trudging upward along a rough. rocky road
met a vigorous youth at the fork of the way. “Old
man,” said the chap, “You’ll never get there at the
pace you’re traveling.” As the young fellow swung on
down the roadway, the old gentleman responded, “Son,
I’m not going your way!” Our roadmap. the Bible, is
explicit. Jesus said, “For wide is the gate and
narrow is the road that leads to destruction, and many
enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow
the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”
(Mt. 7:13). There are two ways, two gates and two
destinations,
The “no-hellites” cannot conceive God sending people
to a place of torment.
God does not send people to hell. He sends sinners to
hell
IF THERE IS NO HELL: God is not just. If there is no
punishment of sin, heaven is apathetic toward the
rapists and pillagers and murderers.
IF THERE IS NO HELL: God is blind toward the victims
and has turned his back on those who pray for relief.
IF THERE IS NO HELL: God is not love for love hates
that which is evil.
IF THERE IS NO HELL: Then God is a liar, and His
Scripture untrue.
THE BIBLE REPEATEDLY AFFIRMS: Some will be saved.
Others lost.
Jesus gave us a parable about the rich man and Lazarus
(Luke 16:22, 23 NLT). “The time came when the beggar
died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side.
The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where
he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far
away with Lazarus by his side.” No Scripture so
clearly teaches The Dualistic Outcome of History.
There were two ways, two life histories, and two
destinies!
